Unshackling my inner Shaidle

One of the more entertaining spectacles on the "Internets" is when Canadian blogger Kathy Shaidle at Relapsed Catholic (Happy birthday, Kathy! You're still a kid!) publicly dismantles those who seek to shut her up.

It's a beautiful thing to behold.

NOW, ONE WAY to get your comments posted to this moderated blog is to write something both so stupid and so arrogant that it allows me to access my inner Shaidle, give it a pop of Early Times, then exhort it to "Run! Run like the wind!"

I want to thank some friends of alleged pothead Richard Ryan Wargo of Louisiana State University,
who allegedly wanted to kill Hillary Clinton in a spectacular manner during a weekend appearance in Baton Rouge. It would seem they are waging an online campaign to defend him against the likes of folks like me, who A) reckon the media have gotten the story at least mostly right, and B) think that dope smoking is bad and threatening murder is way worse.

Haven't changed my mind, alas. And -- obviously -- I'm not shutting up.

UNFORTUNATELY for Wargo's friends, all they've done is unleash my inner Shaidle. And my inner Shaidle likes to have fun.

So, what kind of folks does an alleged head who allegedly wants to be the next Lee Harvey Oswald hang out with? Inquiring minds want to know, and I aim to let them know:

A well reasoned response by "anonymous." It's articulate and lays out facts and contradictory evidence for an immaculately crafted rebuttal of the original post.

P.S.: Anybody notice that the Qwest Dex white pages are really, really funny stuff this year? Dude, I was ROFLMAO all night.

Hand over the Doritos, will ya', man?

And don't forget, pass the kouchie from the left-hand side.

ok mighty favog - i dont know who you are but you obviously do not know wargo personally. i do. by no means is he pathetic and he sure as hell has more brain cells than you do, even if he does smoke pot- he is one of the smartest people i know actually. so i think you should stop your judgmental comments that you are posting based on information that you got from the advocate. i hate to tell you - but the media is not always right, actually they seldom seem to be. they portray wargo as some psychotic kid on drugs which is the exact opposite. so stop making accusations. obviously he isn't some loner like the Virginia Tech kid, his friends are standing up for him all over the place - even people who don't know him very well at all. so shutup with all your little comments.

Oh, little prole who can't even post a pseudonym!

For someone who is against judgmentalism, you certainly are being judgmental. Not knowing me -- or my IQ . . . or my college GPA . . . or anything -- you have deemed me judgmental, and less intelligent than someone who is stupid enough to be IN POSSESSION of ganja AND whatever "drug paraphernalia" he got from the head shop.

Even Forrest Gump knew enough to listen to his mama when she said "Stupid is as stupid does."

Child, don't EVEN get me started on the amount of intelligence it takes to just JOKE (if indeed Mr. Wargo was joking) about killing Hillary Clinton a-tall, much less mere weeks after Virginia Tech.

Finally, this is MY BLOG and the only reason I even ALLOWED your semiliterate response telling me to "shutup with all your little comments" was so I could have the immense pleasure of BLISTERING YOUR ASS.

And it was fun, I admit.

Oh, while I'm thinking of it: Locate the shift key. Learn to punctuate.

And here I was, thinking standards had been raised in the decades since my tenure at the Ol' War Skule. I think, perhaps, I prefer the old paradigm of "Let 'em all in, then it's 'Root, hog, or die' time, boys."

Dear Anonymous the Third,

If "your" in college, and if "your" passing, I'm moving, because the educational system has imploded and we're all doomed.

OH, WAIT. I did move out of Louisiana . . . 19 years ago.

You represent so well for my benighted home state.
